Serious gaming action

We've been treated to a few really decent titles as of late. Certainly worth seeing how much you can blag out of the fat man this Christmas. My latest Christmas present is a new server to put the site on...when it's done. Gawd I feel like 3D Realms with the site overhaul deadline - needs must as the devil does his business and all that!

Gooooal

Me and the lad Jay have been playing multiplayer games on FIFA and Pro Evo over the past week - the big man preferring a bit of Konami's footy, myself being rather more partial to EA's. Hm.

Just scored a classy goal as the lad Torres on Pro Evo, mind - ran through and sent a gently curling sidefoot in off the inside of the post. Quality. Jay wasn't best pleased.

Fooooootball

Still trying to fathom out which football game to buy this winter? Here are two blurrovision videos demonstrating a half of footy on both Pro Evo 2009 and FIFA 09 to give you an idea of how each plays (but not looks, obviously, although you get a good idea of the atmosphere and general impression).

Pro Evo 2009



Things to look out for: Rooney wonder goal, general ineptitude.

FIFA 09



Things to look out for: Drogba being offside a lot, more ineptitude.
